That is my motto! Do you think there is an actual place of peace? I do not even think that heaven is peaceful. Do you think that peace exists? Think me evil, demonic, or godless. . .this is my view.

What do you consider to be the definition of peace? Is it merely the absence of war? Also, what do you mean by "exists"? We can mean it in the same way that a tree exists, since you can't climb peace or chop it down. How would one determine if they are experiencing peace or not?

Gosh, after a few years I bet you'll wish you could find peace. Enough to start believing that it might be there.

Peace of the world, or peace of heart? Mind? Soul?

I do believe in peace, if no one believes in it, it does not exist or will ever be able to exist. I believe.
Have faith in the world, and it will have faith in you?

Piece of Pie! (I couldn't resist!)

Thoad, I'm sorry to hear that you turely do not believe that there is peace.

Some say that peace is a state of mind. Only you can bring yourself to it, and no one can take you away.

I would say that it does exist and that it's everywhere. As jahsonx stated, it's very elusive. you just have to find it.

I'm sorry moe, but I believe you answered my question with another question. AS for the definition of peace, I mean peace in general. A pond with no pollution is not peace, for the animals around the corner are fighting. When I say "exist" I mean the literal form of existence. Such as your tree, for example. I consider that tree to exist. I know it's there, I thought it was there, and I can see/touch/smell it.

I'll go off the wall and say:

Peace exists in its purest form in a singularity (/joke). In unpeace, there is life. In the purest peace, there would be no life. In the natural peace, peace and unpeace are in equilibrium.

Peace exists within the individual. The base love that can be summarily described as "home"?
---

But then, really. If by peace, you mean purity of form, how would you describe the quality of an object that would be in its most natural form (thereby unpolluted and without unpeace)?

I really don't understand what your saying. Could you possibly say that again in a differen't way?
P.S. you answered the question with another question.

Entropy and Emergence in a hash of mumbo jumbo (and maybe tiniest unseen particle of chaos).

Peace I equate to unchange. The Universe changes. The world changes. Hence it contains unpeace. In change and in motion, there is life. Animals move, people move. They react to their environment to move from unpeace toward peace, but they will always contain unpeace. For example, all living things need nutrients. A hungry animal will go find food (+unpeace) so that it will not be hungry (+peace). (bad example) So in natural peace, there is a balance.

This sounds a lot like by-my-self-help-book baloney improve-your-life.

Is home or the feeling of home not peace?

There is nothing wrong with answering a question with another question. But I'm asking for your premises that lead to your conclusion. Define peace and define that definition.

OK, I think I understand COMPLETELY. You're saying that peace can't exist without unpeace. Right?

Right. There's gonna be at least one person causing problems for someone. So truly, there can't be REAL peace in this life.
